Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of forklift reflective mirrors, and more specifically, to a forklift reflective front view mirror with an anti-fog mirror surface. Background Art

[0002] Forklifts play an important role in industrial handling, but the nature of the load in front of them often results in the driver's vision being blocked, making it difficult to clearly observe the road conditions ahead and the surrounding environment;

[0003] After searching, an existing patent (publication number: CN113173527B) discloses a forklift mast field of view expansion device that increases the driver's field of view. The device comprises a vehicle body, a mast fixedly mounted on the surface of the vehicle body, a forklift rack mechanism fixedly mounted on the front end of the vehicle body, auxiliary devices symmetrically fixedly mounted on both sides of the forklift rack mechanism, and front and rear view mirror devices symmetrically fixedly mounted on both sides of the mast. The present invention relates to the field of forklift technology. This forklift mast field of view expansion device that increases the driver's field of view, through the telescopic and angle adjustment of the front and rear view mirror devices and the cooperation of the auxiliary devices, allows observation of the front and rear conditions regardless of the size of the cargo. This solves the problem that existing forklifts lack field of view devices and have a forklift rack mechanism mounted in front of the forklift, resulting in the driver's front and rear field of view being blocked by large and long cargo when transporting cargo, making it easy for cargo to collide with the front and cause personal injury during driving. In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventor discovered that the existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] Existing front-view mirrors may exhibit poor weather resistance in adverse weather conditions (such as rain, snow, and fog), resulting in reduced or even ineffective reflective performance. Furthermore, while side mirrors provide a good field of view, visibility of obstacles such as pedestrians in front of the cargo is still limited, potentially resulting in blind spots.

[0005] Therefore, in response to the above problems, a forklift reflective front mirror with anti-fog mirror surface is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a forklift reflective front mirror with anti-fog mirror surface to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a mirror-anti-fog forklift reflective front mirror, comprising a reflector, a protective shell is provided on one side of the reflector, a handle is provided on one side of the protective shell, an adjustment rod is provided on the other side of the protective shell, an anti-fog mechanism is provided at one end of the adjustment rod, a front mirror is provided on one side of the anti-fog mechanism, connecting shafts are provided at the four corners of the other side of the anti-fog mechanism, a support rod is provided inside the connecting shaft, the support rod is provided on both sides of the forklift, and a mudguard is provided on one side of the support rod.

[0008] Preferably, the reflector and the front view mirror are both made of plane mirrors.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-fog mechanism includes a supporting shell, a control panel, electric wires and a conductive diaphragm. The supporting shell is provided with a control panel inside, and an electric wire is provided on one side of the control panel. The control panel is provided with a conductive diaphragm through the electric wire, and the conductive diaphragm is adhered to the bottom of the front view mirror.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment rod is arc-shaped, and the refraction angles of the reflector and the front view mirror are adjusted by the handle driving the protective shell with the arc center of the adjustment rod as the center of the circle. At the same time, the supporting shell can be horizontally displaced along the outer wall of the support rod through the connecting shaft under the drive of the adjustment rod.

[0011] Preferably, the fender is curved and can perform circular motion along the outer wall of the support rod.

[0012] Preferably, a damping adjustment screw is provided at the connection between the adjustment rod and the protective shell.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. Compared with the existing technology, this anti-fog mirror forklift reflective front mirror can effectively expand the driver's field of view under the cargo and reduce blind spots by installing reflectors on both sides of the forklift bottom. The flat mirror can provide a wider field of view, allowing the driver to see more areas, so that the driver can detect potential dangers in time and take corresponding measures.

[0015] 2. Compared with the existing technology, this anti-fog mirror for forklift reflective front view mirror is designed to use an anti-fog mechanism and a conductive diaphragm connected to a power supply through an electrode wire. When the power is turned on, the conductive diaphragm heats up, causing the mirror surface temperature to rise to prevent water vapor condensation. This design method can make heating more uniform and will not affect the light-transmitting area of ​​the lens, which helps to improve the accuracy of forklift drivers' operations under different weather conditions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] As attached Figures 1 to 4 The forklift reflective front mirror shown in the figure includes a reflector 1, which is made of optical-grade glass material. The mirror surface is precisely ground and polished to achieve a flat and smooth effect to ensure the clarity and accuracy of the reflected image. At the same time, one or more layers of thin film should be coated on the mirror surface to improve reflectivity, reduce light absorption and scattering, and ensure the clarity of the driver's field of view. A protective shell 2 is provided on one side of the reflector 1. The protective shell 2 is made of a high-hardness plastic material, which can protect the reflector 1 and support the reflector 1. A handle 3 is provided on one side of the protective shell 2. The handle 3 enables the driver to adjust the refraction angle and position between the reflector 1 and the front mirror 6 according to the width of the goods transported by the forklift to achieve the clearest and most complete view. An adjustment rod 4 is provided on the other side of the protective shell 2. The adjustment rod 4 is made of stainless steel, has good corrosion resistance and can better adapt to the outdoor working environment. By designing a rotatable or slidable connecting shaft or joint, the adjustment rod 4 can flexibly drive the reflector 1 to change its position with the front mirror 6.

[0024] An anti-fog mechanism 5 is provided at one end of the adjustment rod 4. The main function of the anti-fog mechanism 5 is to prevent the mirror from fogging by heating the conductive diaphragm 13, and at the same time provide stable support for the front-view mirror 6. A front-view mirror 6 is provided on one side of the anti-fog mechanism 5. The front-view mirror 6 is also made of optical-grade glass material. The mirror surface is precisely ground and polished to achieve a flat and smooth effect. The front-view mirror 6 faces the front from both sides of the forklift. When the forklift transports goods and blocks the driver's sight, the driver can easily observe whether there are any obstacles in front of the vehicle by observing the scene illuminated by the front-view mirror 6 in the reflector 1, ensuring the driver's safety. For driving safety, connecting shafts 7 are provided at the four corners on the other side of the anti-fog mechanism 5, and a support rod 8 is provided inside the connecting shaft 7. The connecting shaft 7 is connected to the support rod 8 to ensure the stable setting of the front-view mirror 6 on the forklift body. The support rod 8 is provided on both sides of the forklift. A mudguard 9 is provided on one side of the support rod 8. The mudguard 9 is made of polypropylene material and can withstand the impact of bad weather and road gravel. When the vehicle is driving on rainy days or flooded roads, the mudguard 9 can prevent the water splashed by the tire from directly impacting the front-view mirror 6, thereby avoiding water stains and sludge from affecting the imaging quality of the front-view mirror 6.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Based on Example 1, the solution in Example 1 is further detailed in combination with the following specific working methods. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, see the following description for details:

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the reflector 1 and the front view mirror 6 are both made of plane mirrors. Furthermore, the plane mirror can accurately reflect the actual size and shape of the object, avoiding the introduction of perspective error or deformation. At the same time, compared with convex mirrors or concave mirrors, the plane mirror does not produce image distortion and can provide a wider field of view.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the anti-fog mechanism 5 includes a supporting shell 10, a control panel 11, an electric wire 12 and a conductive diaphragm 13. The supporting shell 10 is provided with a control panel 11, and a electric wire 12 is provided on one side of the control panel 11. The control panel 11 is provided with a conductive diaphragm 13 through the electric wire 12. The conductive diaphragm 13 is adhered to the bottom of the front-view mirror 6. Furthermore, the supporting shell 10 is made of plastic material, which plays a role in protecting internal parts while being light in weight. The conductive diaphragm 13 is made of metal foil material and is made into a diaphragm shape through printing, lamination, cutting and other processes, and ensures that it has uniform conductive properties. A suitable conductive diaphragm 13 layout scheme is designed according to the size and shape of the front-view mirror 6 to ensure that the entire mirror surface can be covered during heating and a uniform heating effect is produced.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the adjustment rod 4 is arc-shaped, and the refraction angles of the reflector 1 and the front-view mirror 6 are adjusted by the handle 3 to drive the protective shell 2 with the arc center of the adjustment rod 4 as the center of the circle. At the same time, the support shell 10 can be horizontally displaced along the outer wall of the support rod 8 through the connecting shaft 7 under the drive of the adjustment rod 4. Furthermore, through the arc-shaped adjustment rod 4 design, the driver can more easily adjust the angles of the reflector 1 and the front-view mirror 6 to obtain the best field of view. The arc-shaped adjustment rod 4 utilizes the lever principle and can produce a larger angle adjustment effect by applying a smaller force on the handle 3, which makes the adjustment process more labor-saving and efficient. At the same time, when the driver pushes the handle 3, the protective shell 2 rotates around the arc center of the adjustment rod 4, and the support shell 10 translates along the outer wall of the support rod 8. The combination of these two actions realizes multi-dimensional adjustment of the device angle.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the fender 9 is curved and can move in a circular motion along the outer wall of the support rod 8. Furthermore, after the fender 9 is adjusted to a suitable position, it relies on gravity and friction to maintain a relatively stable position to prevent accidental movement or falling off during driving. The fender 9 is designed to be curved, which can better fit the shape of the frontview mirror 6 and effectively prevent mud, sand, rainwater, etc. from being splashed onto the frontview mirror 6 by the tire.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, a damping adjustment screw 14 is provided at the connection between the adjustment rod 4 and the protective shell 2. Furthermore, the damping adjustment screw 14 is made of alloy steel material. The damping adjustment screw 14 can provide a smooth and controllable rotational resistance for the adjustment rod 4, so that the driver can more accurately control the position of the reflector 1 when adjusting the angle, avoiding excessive adjustment or swinging.

[0032] The working process of the present invention is as follows: first, when the forklift is working, the driver adjusts the position of the reflector 1 by means of the handle 3 so that he can clearly see the scene ahead in the front view mirror 6 through the reflector 1, and then performs the work. When the front view mirror 6 fogs up, the anti-fog mechanism 5 starts to work. The control panel 11 supplies power to the conductive diaphragm 13 through the wire 12. The conductive diaphragm 13 is attached to the bottom of the front view mirror 6. When the power is on, the conductive diaphragm heats up, causing the mirror surface temperature to rise, thereby preventing water vapor condensation. The above is the working principle of the forklift reflective front view mirror with anti-fog mirror.
